Will Denayer — The Great Repeal Bill: the neoliberal assault on democracy and human rights

Summary:
The Great Repeal Bill grants May’s ministers the power to rewrite reams of British law without democratic oversight. Not only will there be no longer an equivalent to the Francovich ruling. The Great Repeal Bill will also diminish human, civic, social and environmental rights. It will considerably strengthen the position of the executive.

It is the neoliberal assault on democracy and human rights in full action.... flassbeck economics internationalThe Great Repeal Bill: the neoliberal assault on democracy
